The purpose of World Bipolar Day is to raise awareness for this complex and chronic mental health disorder and honor the achievements and struggles of patients, caregivers and providers worldwide. It is also a time to highlight the need to eliminate the social stigma associated with patients suffering from bipolar disorder.
